Occasionally, you find yourself in the presence of someone who’s a very particular breed of how-do-you-actually-exist beautiful. We know you’ve been there, because we have too: we’re talking the kind of aesthetically-pleasing face that forces you to abandon all hope of acting cool and instead interrupt them to ask how the hell they got their eyelashes to do that. Basically, all hope of behaving your damn self goes out the window.

Need an example? Take, for instance, when we recently found ourselves lunching in Montreal for L’Oréal Paris’s Hydra Total 5 launch (sorry stateside shoppers—this one’s exclusive to our home & native land), seated juuuust adjacent to Freida Pinto. Again, because we’ve been there before, we know from personal experience that the potential for awkward silences here is high. But luckily for us, it’s not so when you’re with the likes of Freida. As it turns out, Pinto comes armed with razor sharp jokey retorts and unfiltered commentary on just about everything (in the very best way possible). Here’s everything we learned (or more accurately, gleaned from bombarding her with the same line of questioning we mentioned up there) from the actress; from the best DIY face mask, her biggest beauty misstep and for once and for all, how she gets her eyelashes to do that….read more

“Slumdog Millionaire” star Freida Pinto, who has also featured in films like “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “Immortals”, says working in a short film is “fascinating” as it allows you to tell a story in less time.
“Short films are very fascinating because we don’t get the comfort of like two hours feature to tell the whole story and develop it. So you pretty much have to be very spot on in a short film to tell the whole story,” Freida, who starred in the short film “Black Knight Decoded” as part of the Pepsi Challenge, told IANS.
“Black Knight Decoded”, released in November last year, imagines a rich narrative around the Black Knight satellite.

“I was actually headed back into the sci-fi world. In America, there are many people who believe in the Black Knight theory and they believe in the extraterrestrial world. It’s very, very big in America. In a way for me to find comfort in it and understand this other world which I didn’t know was very fascinating,” Freida said. “As actors, we always like to do things that we haven’t done before. It’s a great way for us to learn the material and understand a world which we are not very familiar with,” she added.

Directed by Jabbar Raisani, “Black Knight Decoded” follows the journey of a father (David Oyelowo) and daughter (Layla Crawford) on their quest to decode the radio signals transmitted from the Black Knight satellite.
With the help of their friend Ahna (Freida), they seek to unite the world in anticipation of the Black Knight’s (voiced by Usher) revelation on Earth.
Freida, who earlier worked with Oyelowo in “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”, says it was interesting to work with the “Selma” actor again.

“The other interesting thing for me was getting back to the film set with David Oyelowo. He is such a phenomenal actor. Also Jabbar Raisani is a fantastic young director who is one to watch out for. The way he has put this film together is beyond phenomenal,” she said.

Freida’s upcoming projects include “Jungle Book: Origins” and “Yamasong: March of the Hollows”.

PinkVilla.com — Film producer Sunil Bohra has revealed plans of launching a 10-minute cut of the Freida Pinto-starrer “Trishna” online – much ahead of the feature film’s release in the country. Directed by the internationally acclaimed Michael Winterbottom, “Trishna” will hit the theatres Jan 30, 2015. But before that, Bohra of Bohra Bros has come up with the unique idea to let the public know what the film really contains.

The special cut of the movie will go online Nov 15.

Talking about the plan, he said: “I want the people to know what the film is all about. This has not been done before in the industry, and if everything goes well, it will become a trend to showcase 10 to 12 minutes of a film’s story through which the public can get to know what content they are buying tickets for.”

Is he being over-confident about “Trishna”? “This is not my over confidence, but it is a sincere effort to be honest about the product. I really want people to buy tickets after they are sure and convinced about the story. “Though the film has some really high erotic content, yet it will be very little in this cut of the story as I feel that more should be left for the cinema cut. “I strongly believe that the story is very strong in itself,” he said.

Based on Thomas Hardy’s novel “Tess of the d’Urbervilles”, “Trishna” tells the story of a woman whose life is torn between love and circumstances. The story revolves around Trishna (Freida) meeting a wealthy young British businessman Jay Singh (Riz Ahmad) who has come to India to work in his father’s hotel business. After an accident destroys her father’s jeep, Trishna goes to work for Jay, and they fall in love.

DigitalSpy.com — Freida Pinto has said that she has no intention of starring opposite her boyfriend Dev Patel in a film again.

The couple met and fell in love while shooting Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire and have been in a relationship for three years. According to Bollywood.com, the actress said: “I think we created all the magic that was needed for one film. We’re leaving the rest of the magic for our personal lives.”

Revealing aspects of their personal life, the Desert Dancer star said they enjoy cooking together. “I don’t want to say we like cooking because we’re both not good. We argue through the food prep, but it’s fun. I wish I could cook Indian food because I could start a restaurant and have an alternative career. There aren’t any good Indian places in LA,” she said.

The 26-year-old described her romance with Patel as “an amazing journey”.
